The legend of rebirth

Chapter 223 Dilemma
A strong wind in September removed the haze from the city of Tianjing, revealing a blue sky that had not been seen for a long time.

Ding Shaoyang opened the window with his own hands, breathed the air outside, and looked very refreshed.

"Director, EMI Records in the United States ranks fifth in the European and American record markets. They sell tens of millions of records every year, and their background is far stronger than that of domestic record companies." Li Yiming asked for advice, "This time they Suddenly announced their entry into the Chinese music scene, do you think they can stand up?"

"Keep your feet on the ground and eat together, as long as their president of the Asian region is not stupid, then it should be fine." Ding Shaoyang said leisurely, "The two provinces of Lingnan have a large population and relatively independent culture. The local music market has great potential. Digging. However, if they want to extend their hands to the south of the Yangtze River or even the north, it will not be easy.

Rock and roll is too radical, and it naturally conflicts with Chinese Confucianism and Taoism. After all, it is still a niche music genre in China.It’s okay to play once in a while, but if you really want to eat this, then you can’t take the usual path. "

"Then what do you mean?" Li Yiming asked.

"It depends on how they play. If they release a record silently, it will be a dead record. However, if they are like us and Ye Luo, they push a musician to be a representative and participate in the In the confrontation between me and Ye Luo's music, the topic will be heated first, then there will be something to play with." Ding Shaoyang returned to his office chair and said lightly.

"Then what do you think, if they want to push musicians to compete with you and Ye Luo, who will they push?" Li Yiming asked again.

"Of course it can't be a foreigner." Ding Shaoyang said, "Even if the music director of EMI, Green Carey, came here to compete with me and Ye Luo for the production of Chinese songs, he would definitely die. Maybe not even If we do it ourselves, you and Yu Yiyi can settle him down. Because he doesn’t understand the Chinese lyrics, there will definitely be problems with the rhythm. If you want to push, you can only push Hong Kong Island musicians.”

"Hong Kong Island? The musicians there, who else can compete with you and Ye Luo?"

"Of course there are." Ding Shaoyang pondered for a while, "There are countless masters on Hong Kong Island, and the strongest of them should be the two brothers Yu Zuo and Yu You, known as the 'Music Twin Ghosts', who are about the same age as me. , twins. Taken apart, these two people are estimated to be at the same level as Jiaqing and Zu Shaoyuan, but together, with their tacit understanding between each other, whether it is the speed or quality of the songs, they can be called me and Ye Ye. Fallen enemy."

"Oh, I've heard about these two people. They were originally the director and deputy director of Canton Show Records, but there seemed to be some conflicts and they broke up. The quality of Canton Show Records has also declined because of this, and the funds are insufficient, so Gradually declined." Li Yiming said.

"Hehe, these two brothers are also very talented, but they couldn't pass the test of women. They had a falling out ten years ago." Ding Shaoyang said, "But now, they are both in their forties, so they will always be a bit bearish on this aspect. I am I hope they can go out together this time and confuse the water even more."

"Oh? Why is that?" Li Yiming asked.

Ding Shaoyang said with a smile, "We have a lot of top producers in the hands of Tianlai, so we don't have to worry about the speed of song production, and we can also take care of the quality. EMI also has many masters from Hong Kong Island, which are similar to us.

Originally, I chose Ye Luo as my opponent, but there was no other way, because apart from him, no one in the country can compete with us, Tian Lai.

We are a company, even if I can't suppress him in the future, there will be Jiaqing, Luo Xingzhou, Ma Jingyi, and you.

As for him, there is only one person. Once he fails, who will fight with us?No matter how strong a person's talent and inspiration are, they will be exhausted.Now he has competed with us for two months, and he will not lose the wind for the time being, but at least two new songs a week, he is not a fairy, can he still compete with us for two years?
Since I want the music industry to prosper for a longer period of time, I certainly hope that our opponents will have a stronger foundation.

On Ye Luo's side, the foundation is still not enough.With the addition of EMI, Ye Luo should be struggling to carry our two companies alone, so it is not surprising that he will choose to formally join Universal or Dream, and there will be a production team behind him.

In this way, the current personal confrontation between me and Ye Luo can be turned into a full-scale competition between three or four record companies.This, in fact, is the ultimate goal of my fight with Ye Luo, to drive competition and revitalize the market. "

After Ding Shaoyang finished speaking, Li Yiming thought for a while before nodding.

"Okay, let's leave it alone for now." Ding Shaoyang smiled and said, "Xiao Li, your song "Crusader" has a very good response, plus the previous song "Maya". I found that you have a lot of experience in making this kind of R&B songs."

"It was also made under your guidance, and you gave the main theme." Li Yiming scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"By the way, I received an invitation from my mentor for the program "Original Good Songs". I think it would be good to play. Are you interested in joining us?" Ding Shaoyang asked, "If you are interested, you can become a contestant."

"Hehe, since Teacher Ding is interested, of course I will accompany you." Li Yiming laughed.

……

On Thursday, the Tianqiong Bar on Xiushui Street in Shangdu announced that it would be temporarily closed from today and entered the stage of overall renovation.A large notice board was hung at the entrance of the bar: On November [-]st, Ye Luo Studio's music show - the brand new Tiandome Music Performance Hall will be grandly opened.

Ye Luo and Brother Rob were sitting in the studio, each holding a cup of coffee.

"The decoration budget is 140 million, and I have already invested all of it." Rob said, "Now, I don't have a penny in my bank card."

Ye Luo smiled: "Me too, it feels so good to spend all the money."

Tang Jinxiu was a little worried after hearing this: "Boss, you will give us the rest of this month's salary, right?"

"Of course." Ye Luo gave Tang Jinxiu a blank look, "Is your boss the kind of person who is in arrears with wages? Besides, at the beginning of next month, Leshi's advertising revenue will come in. Are you afraid that you won't be paid?" Salary?"

"That's right!" Tang Jinxiu nodded.

"That's right." Ye Luo said to Rob, "The MV for Huanyu is ready, and "Heavenly High and Earthly Thick" will be released today, is there any problem?"

"What do you ask me for, you have the final say." Rob waved his hand.

"Boss, then I'll release it now?" Tang Jinxiu asked, "Isn't this song going to be a side story?"

"Of course I won't be doing extra episodes." Ye Luo was frightened into a cold sweat, "This is a pure man's song. If it's used as an extra episode about Journey of Love, your boss and my sexual orientation will be a problem. Miss Tang, please don't Send it wrong, or I will be tricked by you."

"Yeah, yeah!" Rob looked at Tang Jinxiu and said solemnly, "The Journey of Love just looked like he was about to break up, and if he inserted such a song, then the case will be solved and the reason for the breakup will be found. Ye Luo and I can't clean up even if we jumped into the Yellow River. Miss Tang, you must be merciful."

Tang Jinxiu covered her mouth and smiled for a while. After some skillful operations, she said, "Okay, I've already posted it. Let's see the fans' reactions in a while. Oh, by the way, speaking of music fans, boss this week Once the main line song is released, I think it will cause riots."

"Is it that serious?"

"That's right." Tang Jinxiu nodded, "Right now, on your Weibo, and in the comment section of the special section, there is a big fight between apple pie and sour plum soup. You actually release a song about two people breaking up, and they jump off a building."

"No way?" Ye Luo really panicked, "It's too late to change the main story now."

"It can't be changed. Some sour plum soup said that if they don't break up, they will jump off the building." Tang Jinxiu continued.

"It's making people alive, or I'll just dance!" Ye Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Look at you." Rob laughed, "Do you believe what people say on the Internet?"

"I have to believe it." Ye Luo said, "The last time the school forum broadcasted the story of eating Xiang, do you remember? If I hadn't stopped me, there would be a heartless person in our class who would really eat it."

"Don't worry, it's your luck that you can meet such a rare flower." Rob patted Ye Luo's shoulder, "Ordinary people don't have this kind of luck."

"I hope so." Ye Luo sighed.
